That is so sad -- it must have been so hard for your mom and grandmother. And to think of everything your grandfather went through in the war, too -- his generation lived through quite an epoch. (My German grandfather also served in the Kaiser's army during WWI and emigrated to the U.S. in the 1920s.) Thank you for sharing this clipping.

What a terrible tragedy and how awful for your grandmother and mother to see such a sight. It must have been very traumatic for both of them, especially after they had experienced the turmoil of the war. Thank you for sharing.

About Me

I live in Western PA. I have been working on my genealogy since 2007 or so. I became interested when closing my fathers belonging and wondering about the papers I had found related to my ancestors.
